Ford Explorer Sport Trac Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUT 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	99 Dodge Durango with 5.9 V8 got better fuel economy with same driving habits. Expected better with smaller V8 and 6 speed trans. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review
2008	4dr SUT 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Terrible. I've owned fullsize pickups and SUV so I know what to expect. I've never seen the average mpg display read over 15mpg for the six months I've owned it. The main reason I bought this was the combination AWD and 4WD transfer case, but it doesn't have a 2 wheel drive position like my Sierra did. Boy do I miss that, I averaged 20 mpg per tank. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review
2007	4dr SUT 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	highway mileage is very good, better than my lighter V6 Ranger; 21mpg on the highway @ 75mph on flat road. City, with the remote start in winter, with the AWD kicking in, and lead foot acceleration nets me 13mpg. A light foot can get 15mpg city see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review
2002	4dr SUT 203-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	I think we all wish for 30 mpd-thats unrealistic when you have 10000+ lbs on the road when towing. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review

2011	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	So far so good with E10 Fuel I am getting an average of 27 and I only have 500 miles on it so far. I now have over 3000 miles and just got back from a long trip 1/2 of it hilly. I set the cruise on 67 and let it go averaged over 32mpg by the end of trip see full Chevrolet Impala review
2009	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Averaging 25.0 mpg in mixed driving, very good for the size of the vehicle and the the fact that it is a V6. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2008	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Fuel Economy beats smaller sized cars, let alone others in the same class. 30mpg is not hard to attain. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2008	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Its a full size car that gives good performance and still gets 30 MPG on the highway. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2008	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	If driven carefully, 22-30 MPG around town and 33-36 MPG highway. If you are a sloppy driver, make that 18-20 and 25 MPG. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2008	4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Mileage averages 23-24 around town and close to 30 on road trips which is quite good considering engine size and power. see full Chevrolet Impala review

2008	4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	In town mileage is less than 15 mpg. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2007	4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Only get about 25 mpg on interstate with the 3.9 Active fuel management is a gimmick in my opinion and older GM cars with a V6 I have driven have been better with fuel economy than the 3.9. see full Chevrolet Impala review
